Mum and I are now in Muswell Hill most of the time, so we need to find our favourite new dog walking routes. We like the playing fields that lead to Coldfall Wood, and usually we meet nice dogs there. Today Mum spotted a playful Collie and we walked back to see him. He was a very handsome Blue Merle Collie, called Jumble, after the ‘Just William’ stories. Mum got excited cos she always wanted to call her first dog Jumble but I already had a name when she got me. Jumble has one blue eye like all the best Blue Merle Collies, but his Mum says he catches snails and takes them in the house – yuk! I draw the line at catching a few flies on a hot summer afternoon. Here is a photo of a Blue Merle – not as good-looking as Jumble, but it shows you what they look like.
